France vs. Germany - Today

[VetLegion]

You know you like to talk military stuff

I've just seen some documentary stuff about Napoleon. So I have a question: if Germany and France went at it today, who would win?

No nukes, of course.

I like both
But Germans are evil.
But French have Chirac as their president.
Damn, hard

Currently France spends more on its military than Germany. That gives it a large initial advantage. If the war is long, then Germany's large size and greater total wealth would tip the issue.

France would win

But it's more probable Germany will get a stab in its back than France

Germany on penalties. The French protest to FIFA, claiming Germans convinced their keeper that the ball was highly radioactive.

[Barnabas]

France will win

they have better weapons, and enough top fighting foreigners in the Légion étrangère who wont surrender

[Pekka]

I put my money on the defendors side. But if they announce war on each other and try to destroy each other at the same time, difficult to say.

And like Brancy says, France does have a bunch of elite soldiers with attitude, but there's only 8000 of them. Still enough to be considerable force though.

the french will outsmell them

France. They have the nukes. And Obelix.

[Gangerolf]

obelix > nukes

[Krill]

Germany. Even if Germany got nuked into the ground, who would give up a chance to push the Big Red Button(TM) and turn France into a radioactive wasteland?
